Time Warner minus AOLgoes into effect Thursday
NEW YORK -- As of Thursday, the world's largest media company will officially drop "AOL" from its name and be known as "Time Warner Inc.," as it was before it announced a merger with America Online at the height of the Internet boom in early 2000.
The company's shares will also resume trading under their former ticker symbol of "TWX" on the New York Stock Exchange on Thursday, instead of the current "AOL." The changes that go into effect Thursday were decided upon last month at a board meeting of AOL Time Warner.
Stewart says she doesn'tthink she'll go to prison
NEW YORK -- Martha Stewart, indicted in a stock-trading scandal over the summer, says she is scared but does not believe she will go to prison.
The comments, released Monday by ABC News, came in an interview conducted over the weekend by Barbara Walters that will air in November, two months before Stewart's scheduled trial.
"Who wouldn't be scared?" Stewart said, according to the ABC excerpt. "Of course I'm scared. The last place I would ever want to go is prison. And I don't think I will be going to prison, though."
Stewart, 62, is accused of selling ImClone Systems Inc. stock in 2001 because she was tipped that the family of ImClone founder Sam Waksal was selling. The next day, the stock plunged on a negative report from the Food and Drug Administration. Stewart has pleaded innocent.
